Melson volunteers to serve in the Middle East; withdraws from NY Congressional race

Mag-iwan ng komento

 

Brooklyn, NY (Enero 4, 2018) – Army Public Affairs Officer and retired pro boxer Boyd Melson announced his withdrawal from the New York District 11 Congressional election to serve the United States in the fight against ISIS in Operation Inherent Resolve.

 

 

Melson is currently serving in the Army Reserve in the rank of Major. Kamakailan lamang, a member of Melson’s Army Reserve unit scheduled for deployment in early 2018 received an opportunity for an assignment in an Active Guard Reserve (AGR) position.

 

 

The soldier wanted this assignment for a long period of time and it was an opportunity that would not be offered again if initially turned down. The soldier is married with children and the opportunity would be extremely beneficial to the soldier and her family. Melson, a Brooklyn resident, previously volunteered, without success, to serve abroad on three different deployments. He was adamant that this is his time to fight terrorism at its forefront.

 

 

“I am proud of many things that have taken place in my life and lives of those around me,"Sabi Melson, isang 2003 West Point graduate. “The most important to me without question is being a great American that stands behind his responsibilities as a member of the Army Reserve.”

 

 

Melson, who helped raise more than $400,000 for Spinal Cord Injury research by donating every penny earned in his boxing career and helping host multiple charity galas, has been chronicled by many high profile media outlets for his selflessness. Gayunman, the 36-year-old believes this next journey is his responsibility as an American.

 

 

“I have never deployed. Wholeheartedly, I believe that it is my ultimate duty to serve this great country in our fight against ISIS in the Middle East. For this reason, I have decided to withdraw from the 2018 District 11 Congressional election. While there’s no doubt in my mind I was the right man to lead Staten Island and South Brooklyn, America needs me overseas. I was doing well in my campaign run. I was singled out by the New York times as one of a handful of up and coming Democratic candidates for United States Congress. I was one of six candidates asked to speak out in front of the White House to address Russia’s cyber-interference with our elections. Then I received a phone call. A fellow soldier was scheduled to deploy. She asked me if I would switch with her because of various circumstances that would greatly benefit her family’s life to include her. I immediately said yes.”

 

 

“I thought to myself, I have never been deployed and I don’t want to look back on my life thinking how I had my chance to do my part fighting ISIS but shied away from it. That would have gone against everything I stand for. I believe in sacrificing myself to help others. Oras na ito, the sacrifice is not only to help combat the terror in the Middle East, but to also help out a fellow soldier. If I said no, I would have lied to myself about who I think I am and what I think I am about.”

 

 

I have spent a great amount of time over the years traveling to schools and speaking to students from pre-k through college. I always stated that you must make sure that your decisions are in alignment with your heart’s values. Me not being there when called upon would have meant I would have lied to these children all of these years. I finally am getting my chance to join my brothers and sisters in arms with this experience. Only my inner-circle knew about the other three deployments I tried to get on. I finally get to join all those throughout our nation’s history that have made this choice. I believe in my choice, albeit it will be costing me my chance at being elected into office. Serving my nation, the United States of America, in uniform while in harm’s way, to help fight.”

I can’t wait to let my hands go with the little gloves and no headgear. I want to be known as the knockout king, and when I see my opponent hurt, I’m going to do my best to end the fight.”
“America will get a nice treat when they see Akhmadaliev in action,” stated International sports agent, Ruslan Khusinov, who will be managing the careers of both Akhmadaliev and Giyasov, “Akhmadaliev will be one of boxing’s most exciting fighters, just like Giyasov.

“After working the mitts with Akhmadaliev, I can see why he’s so popular, the kid has electrifying punching power,” Justin Gamber said. “With his immense amateur experience, I feel Akhmadaliev will make an immediate impact in the featherweight division.”
Both Akhmadaliev and Giyasov are promotional free agents, but are sought out be several U.S. promoters.
“There is excitement and interest with multiple promoters who want to sign Akhmadaliev and Giyasov,” Ruslan Khusinov concluded. “I feel the same excitement when I came to the States with Gennady Golovkin, who is my good friend.

Biyernes, Pebrero. 2 Live On SHOWTIME® At 10 p.m. ET / PT

An undefeated boxer losing for the first time was a common theme on ShoBox in 2017 bilang 15 prospects lost their perfect record on the popular developmental series last year. Now in its 17th year, a total of 171 fighters have suffered their first loss on ShoBox.

RONALD ELLIS vs. JUNIOR YOUNAN – 10-Round Super Middleweight

 

Ellis returns to ShoBox in his first bout since defeating Christopher Brooker via a unanimous decision in Atlantic City last January. In his ShoBox debut, Ellis fought Jerry Odom to a majority draw in Atlantic City in February 2016.
 

Originally from Lynn, Mass., the 28-year-old Ellis currently lives and trains in Los Angeles at the Iron Gym under trainer Jerry Rosenberg and his father Ronald Ellis Sr.
 

“It’s going to be fireworks from the jump,” said Ellis, who was scheduled to fight Taneal Goyco in November, but the fight was scrapped when Goyco weighed three pounds over the super middleweight limit. “Younan is a good little fighter, but we are trying to get him out of there. Ito ang aking unang pangunahing kaganapan, and I want to impress. It will be a good way to start 2018, which will be my year.”
 

Ellis upset highly regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Pambansang Golden guwantes. Gausha would go on to represent the U.S. sa 2012 Mga Laro sa Olympics.
 

Younan, who is promoted by Roc Nation Sports, was a highly touted amateur boxer who compiled a 90-5 record before turning professional in 2013 sa edad na 18. Once dubbed by The New York Times as “a boxing prodigy” as a 10-year-old, Younan was a two-time National Junior Golden Gloves champion, ang 2011 National Junior Olympic championship, and at one point was the No. 1-rated junior boxer in his weight class by USA Boxing.
 

Because of injuries, Younan fought just one time in 2015. After a nine-month layoff, he returned in March of 2016 to beat Cristian Solorzano and has remained active since. Eight of Younan’s 13 pro wins have ended in the first round, including three of his last five fights. The 22-year-old is trained by his father, Sherif Younan
 

“It’s a pleasure to fight on SHOWTIME and I’m excited to put on a show for all the viewers,” Younan said. “I’ve been working as hard as possible and I’m confident my efforts will pay off. I’m going to break my opponent’s spirit and pick him apart. This is my time – in 2018, I’m looking to make a title run and this fight is just the first step.”
 

WELLINGTON ROMERO vs. SAM TEAH – Eight-Round Super Lightweight

 

Romero is originally from the Dominican Republic now fighting out of Newburgh, New York. A southpaw, he fights under the Roc Nation Sports promotion and represented the Dominican Republic in the 2012 London Olympics, where he lost to eventual Gold Medalist Vasyl Lomachenko.

 

An accomplished amateur with 268 fights, Romero earned a bronze medal at the 2010 Central American Games and made back-to-back appearances at the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships and the 2011 Pan American Games as a teenager.
 

The 26-year-old Romero fought twice in 2017, recording TKOs in both wins over Kevin Womack Jr. and Mike Fowler.
 

“This fight on SHOWTIME is a great opportunity for me to showcase my talent and I want to thank God, my team and everyone involved for this opportunity,” Romero said. “I’m going to deliver a world class performance for all the boxing fans out there to enjoy. After defeating my opponent, I know I will make a lasting impression on the viewers and start paving my way to a world title belt.”
 

This won’t be the first time Philadelphia’s Teah is facing an undefeated fighter on ShoBox. In Las Vegas in 2015, Teah scored a unanimous decision over previously undefeated O’Shaquie Foster. The 30-year-old’s only loss came against then-undefeated Lavisas Williams in 2014.
 

Ipinanganak sa Liberia, Teah did not start boxing until the age of 19. His last four fights have been close to home with three in his hometown of Philadelphia and the other two in Bristol, Pa., and Atlantic City, N.J.
 

“I know my opponent was an Olympian, and he has been in front of a lot of great fighters,” Teah said. “I am excited to face him and take the big challenge. I know I will be his toughest opponent. I am ready to see what he is made of.”
 

THOMAS MATTICE vs. ROLANDO CHINEA – Eight-Round Lightweight
 

A 27-year-old from Cleveland, Mattice turned pro in 2014 and had an amateur record of 72-18. He was a three-time Ohio State Golden Gloves champion, and bronze medal winner in the USA National Tournament in 2014.
 

In his last fight on Nov. 11, Mattice beat Orlando Rizo via seventh-round stoppage in Georgia. Mattice, who has recorded four straight KOs and eight overall in 10 propesyonal fights, is a boxer-puncher who likes to attack the body.
 

“It’s a tough fight for sure,” Mattice said. “I checked him out. It’s going to be a rough fight, but I am prepared for a war. I am prepared for whatever he will bring. I am excited to fight on ShoBox. Ever since I started boxing, I said one day that will be me fighting on TV, and now that dream comes true.”
 

The 26-year-old Chinea returns to ShoBox after handing previously unbeaten Kenneth Sims Jr., the first loss of his professional career via majority decision on July 14. The win moved Chinea’s ShoBox record to 2-0. He had previously won an eight-round split decision victory over O’Shaquie Foster in 2016.
 

A Puerto Rican native now living in Lancaster, Pa., Chinea suffered his only defeat against the hands of Ismail Muwendo in 2015. He has won five straight since, including two unanimous decisions over previously undefeated Ladarius Miller and Mel Crossty, as well as the unbeaten Sims. His last four opponents had a combined record of 38-1-1.
 

“I know Thomas Mattice is another undefeated fighter with a terrific amateur career,” Chinea said. “I am being brought in as his opponent, to make him look good in his national TV debut. I respect Thomas for agreeing to fight me. I am sure that he will bring his best, and it will be another entertaining fight, Chinea style. I am going to be in the best shape of my career. I am going to be stronger, and I am going to hunt him down, rough him up, and beat him. I can’t wait to fight and win again on ShoBox.”
 

DEVIN HANEY vs. HARMONITO DELA TORRE – Eight-Round Lightweights

 

Haney just turned 19 years old last November and already sports a professional record of 18-0 may 12 knockouts. Trained and managed by his father, William Haney, he has been active with nine fights in 2016 and seven in 2017. In his last fight on Nov. 4, he scored a fifth-round TKO against Hamza Sempewo in Atlanta.
 

Raised in Oakland, Calif., Haney was a seven-time national amateur champion and compiled an impressive record of 130-8. Haney is currently living and training in Las Vegas, where he sparred with Floyd Mayweather as the pound-for-pound champ prepared to face Conor McGregor, and Shawn Porter. Haney turned professional when he was 16 years old in Mexico.
 

“Fighting on SHOWTIME, specifically ShoBox, where many champions have been made, is something I’ve envisioned since I turned professional in 2015,” Haney said. “I’m in tough against Harmonito Dela Torre, a hungry fighter who is coming off his first pro loss. I know his back is up against the wall, so I’m expecting him to bring everything he’s got. But this is my time to shine on the big stage and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by. I’m the future of boxing and everyone will see my talent on February 2, especially Dela Torre.”
 

Dela Torre is a 23-year-old Philippines native who has been training with Osmiri Fernandez in Miami the past few months at the Sanman Boxing Gym.
 

Dela was scheduled to fight last on Aug. 22 in Las Vegas in a super featherweight bout against undefeated Saul Rodriguez, who inexplicably pulled out of the matchup a few days before the fight.
 

Sa halip, Dela Torre entered the ring in Las Vegas on Nov. 18 and suffered his first loss against 2012 Olympic silver medalist Tugstsogt Nyambayar in an eight-round unanimous decision, despite scoring a second-round knockdown. It was the first time in his first nine fights that Nyambayar was taken the distance.
 

Barry Tompkins will call the ShoBox action from ringside with Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. Ang executive producer ay Gordon Hall Richard Gaughan paggawa at Rick Phillips nagdidirekta.

ROBERT EASTER (20-0, 14 Kos) – Ang pagsasagawa ng ikatlong pagtatanggol ng IBF Lightweight World Pamagat
“Away na ito ay maaaring talagang i-set ng isang magandang tono para sa akin in 2018. Pupunta ako upang maging sa paggawa ng isang pahayag na may away na ito. Ang aking huling tatlong fights Hindi ko na makakakuha ito ng knockout. Pupunta ako upang maging sa pagbibigay ng aking mga tagahanga at labanan ang mga tagahanga ng magandang palabas.
“Pupuntahan ko gamitin ang aking pag-abot at haba at sirain ang tao na ito mula sa labas. Lahat ng aking karera ako aaway mas maikli guys. Bawat maikling guy ay hindi labanan ang parehong. Ngunit kang makakuha sa ang ring at sa tingin mo siya sa labas at gumawa ng mga pagsasaayos.
“May walang sa partikular na mayroon akong upang maghanda para sa Fortuna. kunin ko ang bawat labanan ang parehong. Ang bawat mandirigma fights iba't ibang upang makakuha ka doon, tingin sa kanya out at gumawa ng mga pagsasaayos bilang pumunta ka kasama. Hindi ako nag-aalala tungkol sa kanya sa pagiging isang southpaw. Ko na nahaharap ng maraming mga lefties sa aking career at sa mga amateurs. Iyan ay walang problema sa lahat.
“Sa tingin ko kung ano ang gumagawa sa akin ang mas mapanganib na boksingero sa labang ito ay nagkakaroon ng ang taas na gagawin ko at ang pagsuntok kapangyarihan at ang bilis at ang mindset pati na rin. Aking mindset ay na hindi ako pupunta doon upang i-play sa paligid sa kanya. Handa na ako upang sirain.
“Aking layunin para sa 2018 ay upang makuha ang higit pang mga pamagat at upang makakuha ng pag-iisa bouts. Nagkaroon kami ng ilang mga Champions sa pagbaba ng klase, ngunit lumilitaw na walang isa ay handa upang labanan ang iba pang mga Champions. kami ay handa na gawin ang anumang ito ay tumatagal, labanan ang sinuman ang mayroon ng mga pamagat. Kami ay handa upang makuha ang lahat ng mga pamagat sa tuwing ang iba pang mga guys na nais na mag-sign up para sa mga fights.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 Kos) – Former Super Featherweight World Champion
“Aking paghahanda para sa paglaban ay pagpunta napakahusay. Gumagamit ako mag-ehersisyo sa Dominican Republic, ngunit ko na bumalik sa Boston upang tapusin ang aking training. Sa ngayon kami ay sa 75% at isinasara sa sa 100%. Ako ay ganap na handa kapag ito ay oras na upang labanan ang. Aking paghahanda at aking diskarte mo akong gawing mas mapanganib guy.
“nakikita ko na ito tulad ng walang iba pang mga away na ako ay nagkaroon ng bago, dahil bawat kalaban ay naiiba. Ang bawat tao'y may kanilang sariling niche sa antas na ito, isang bagay na gumagana para sa kanila. Ang kanyang niche ay na siya ay matangkad. Siya ay gumagamit na sa kanyang advantage. Ngunit ito ay walang anuman na hindi ako maaaring pagtagumpayan. Nilabanan ko ang tall guys bago.
“Mas gusto ko ang aking mga opponents upang maging taller. Nagpe-play ito sa kung ano ako magawa. Dati wala ako ng isang problema sa mas matangkad opponents. Abner Cotto (5-10) ay isa sa mga tall guys na ako nakipaglaban. Nakipaglaban ako sa Chicago at ilagay sa isang mahusay na pagganap. (Fortuna nakapuntos ng isang 5ika ikot KO laban kay Cotto)
“Aking layunin para sa 2018 ay upang labanan ang lahat ng mga nangungunang mga piling tao fighters sa aking timbang klase, at ako trying upang maging nabanggit bilang isa sa mga pinakamahusay sa buong sport. Gusto ko talaga na manalo ng isa pang world title sa isang iba't ibang weight class. Ito ay magiging ang pinakamalaking sandali sa ngayon sa aking career upang makakuha ng isa pang world title.”
Marcus Browne (20-0, 15 Kos) – Tuktok 10 raranggo sa 175 lbs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Aking kalaban (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 Kos) ganito ang hitsura ng isang matibay na, butangero. nakikita ko ito labanan sa pagiging napaka-kapana-panabik para sa mga tagahanga para sa hangga't ito ay tumatagal. Nakita ko ang isang maliit na piraso ng tape sa kanya. Alam ko siya ay palaging nanggagaling sa tip-itaas na hugis, at marinig ko siya ay pare-pareho sa kanyang pagganap sa ang ring. I just know I’m going to have to be sharp on Jan. 20.
“Ito ay palaging isang karangalan upang labanan dito sa bahay at sa Barclays Center. Walang espesyal na upang magawang upang maisagawa sa harap ng mga tagahanga at hindi ako makapaghintay na ilagay sa isang mahusay na pagganap ng mga nangungunang hanggang sa ang Spence vs. Peterson away.
“Away na ito ay maaaring ilagay sa akin sa ang posisyon na kailangan kong maging in upang labanan para sa isang pamagat mundo. Hindi ko maaaring kulang sa anumang paraan. kailangan kong lumabas malakas na may isang mahusay na pagganap mula sa simula hanggang katapusan at mag-iwan walang duda doon.
“Para 2018, Gusto kong maging isang mundo kampeon. Handa akong tomake ito nangyari sa taong ito. That vision starts on Jan. 20 at Barclays Center against Francy Ntetu.”
FRANCY NTETU (17-1, 4 Kos) – Nakipaglaban si David Benavidez sa Barclays Center sa Hunyo 2015
“I know Marcus Browne is probably taking me lightly and thinks he will simply go through me. Umaasa ako na ang kaso, dahil ito ay pagpunta maging isang shock sa kanya, ang mga tagahanga at ang kanyang koponan kapag kumuha ko ang kanyang puwesto sa linya para sa isang pamagat. Gusto kong harapin Eleider Alvarez sa aming hometown ng Montreal matapos makuha ko ito win.
“Aking nakaraang paglaban sa Barclays Center laban sa kasalukuyang WBC kampeon David Benavidez ay malinaw naman isang napaka-masamang desisyon ng referee na itigil ang laban, lalo na kapag ako ay nanalong ang pag-ikot at Benavidez ay alalay. Ako ay nakakakuha ng mas malakas habang siya ay pagkuha weaker.
“hindi ko nasaktan at hindi kailanman ay bumaba sa isang labanan. Gusto kong Marcus na hamunin ang kanyang sarili at tingnan kung maaari niyang gawin ang isang bagay walang ibang tao ay. Nasasabik akong nasa isang labanan ng magnitude na ito. Marcus, ay oras na para sa amin upang magbigay ng mga tagahanga kung ano ang nais nilang!”
Adam Kownacka (16-0, 13 Kos) – Orihinal na mula sa Poland & aaway out sa Brooklyn
“Away na ito ay magiging isa pang hakbang patungo sa pagiging isang kampeon. Alam ko ako pagpunta sa may sa trabaho very hard at patunayan na ako patuloy na bumuo sa aking panalo laban Szpilka. Mula sa video na nakita ko sa Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 Kos), siya ay gumagalaw ng isang pulutong, kaya kukunin ko na maging nangangailangan upang i-cut-off ang ring. Anuman ang siya ay nagdudulot sa ang ring, kukunin ko na magkaroon ng isang sagot para sa.
“Tatlong taon sa isang hilera ngayon ako aaway sa Enero. Gustung-gusto ko na nagsisimula off sa taong malakas. Aking asawa at ako tunay na nagsimula ang isang tradisyon ng “Kownacki Family Run” sa hatinggabi on New Year’s Eve. Since ako palaging naghahanda para sa isang away sa paligid ng Bagong Taon, kami ay may korte maaari naming pati na rin magkaroon ng kasiyahan habang ginagawa namin. Kaya, kami ay may ilang mga kaibigan dumating out at magpatakbo ng ilang mga milya sa amin sa paligid ng kapitbahayan sa panahon ng paputok. Ito ay masaya at tumutulong sa makakuha ako handa.
“Sa huli, Naghahanap ako upang maging ang pinakamahusay sa matimbang dibisyon. Ang katapusan ng layunin para sa taong ito ay upang maging isang mundo kampeon. Ngunit ang pinakaunang hakbang ay ang pagkuha Iago Kiladze sineseryoso. I can’t look past Enero 20 ngayon. Mayroon akong isang matibay kalaban kung sino ang hamunin at gumawa ako ng isang mas mahusay na manlalaban sa katagalan.”
IAGO KILADZE, Third away dahil ilipat ang hanggang sa matimbang dibisyon (2-0, 2 Kos)
“I feel great and my training has been terrific. Aking trainer ay si Freddie Roach ngayon. I sparred sa (IBF Cruiserweight Champion) Murat Gassiev tatlong beses kamakailan na kung saan ay mahusay na paghahanda para sa akin. I believe I can knockout Kownacki but if I have to go the distance I’m prepared for that. Alinmang paraan, kukunin ko na maging matagumpay. Ako nararamdaman na ako ang higit pang mga bihasang mandirigma at na magpapakita sa singsing.
“Ito ay isang mahusay na paglaban para sa aking career at isang napakalakas na pagsisimula para sa 2018. I know that if I win this fight I’ll be that much closer to a world title opportunity.
“Aking layunin ay upang maging isang mundo kampeon sa dulo ng 2018. I want to continue improving and learning under Freddie and with his guidance I’m confident of success.”
